EOTD: Smashbox Olive and Gold...

Back in November last year I did an EOTD using this fabulous Smashbox "Click You're It" palette - I combined the soft olivey green (#15) with the silver (#3), and promised to do another, but substituting with the gold (#10) instead, and here it is. Of course it's a much warmer look, and also just the ticket for our fast approaching Autumn,,,

For comparison, here is the earlier combo. Of course the shadows are placed differently, and I lined the waterline of today's one with green instead of white, so it's actually not that good a comparison, but you get the idea. The one below is cooler and crisper, and I think it still works, but I do prefer the two warm shades together...

The guide that came with this palette suggested pairing the colours that are arranged vertically in the box, and I'm keen to try the pink ones next, but I've also got a hankering to see what happens when I combine the hues horizontally - that #7 pink and #8 grey are calling me, as are #13 blue, #14 bronze & #15 olive...

At some stage too, you can be sure I'll give diagonal combinations a shot ha ha. I reckon I'll have fun putting the deep pink and blue together, and maybe even the blue and orange - can't help myself, I'm a fiend for experimentation :-)

But back to today's creation, I used Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bold Gold for my base, pressed the gold and olive over the top, and then blended the join from the outside in.  On the waterline is Mirenesse Face Gel Colour in Emerald - a cooler green than the  shadow, but I wanted to perk things up a bit, and it ties in with my iris colour more closely than the olive...

I used the same olive green along the lower lashline, over the top of MNY Master Precise Liquid Liner, dipping the brush in some water...

And here's my whole face (just for you Arty!) - I was so hot I brushed my fringe mop out of the way. Interestingly I was wearing black and cream, but for a change I couldn't bring myself to match my eyes to the outfit - way too boring lol. The necklace is the one the gorgeous Kate from Seduced by Beauty gave me last year for being her first guest blogger - just adore it hon!

Take care of you,
